No Torani syrup is in this recipe at all. This is about as homemade as you can get, since you will basically making your own syrup.

And even with that, this recipe doesn’t take too long to make at all.

What is the difference between Italian Soda and Italian Cream Soda?

Only one thing – half and half or any type of cream. A traditional Italian Soda is a sparkling soda. Whereas an Italian Cream Soda has half and half or an added cream.

These sodas here are Italian Cream Sodas, but you could technically leave out the cream and enjoy them as traditional Italian Soda!

Ingredients
  

To Make Homemade Fruit Syrup

  • ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cups warm water

For the Sodas

  • Club Soda or Carbonated Water
  • Cream we used half and half

Instructions
 

To Make Homemade Fruit Syrup

  • In a pan on the stove top on high, add 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of sugar and stir them together. Add the fruit and bring it to a boil. Boil for about a minute and then turn down to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain the liquid and discard the fruit. Allow the syrup to cool completely before using. Can be stored in the fridge in sealed jar for about 2 weeks.
  • You now have your homemade fruit syrup which can be added to all kinds of things, but for this we are going to use it for creamy delicious Irish sodas.

Creating the Sodas:

  • Fill your glass to the top with ice. Pour 4 Tablespoons of the fruit syrup in over the ice. Add the carbonated water or club soda filling it about 3/4 full. Now add a splash or more of the cream. To be honest, it goes a long way.
  • Stir when you're ready to drink and enjoy!
